United Committee for obtaining the Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts . In reference to their diminished resources , the Committee conclude their Report with the following declaration : < l The prolongation of this Society after its objects are accompVished , its existence , in creeping , slothy , lingering ,
decline , in some sad atrophy , they can uever desire ; but whilst it continues needed and useful , they will apply the remainder of their principal fund towards its objects , if annual contributions should still be withheld ; and when the whole is exhausted , if yet an object important to the independence or the honour of the Dissenters , or to the great cause of liberty , remain to be attained , they know too well the high and sacred principles ,
the love to freedom , and the enthusiastic liberality and zeal of their brethren and their friends , to entertain one doubt , that then , and on a moment ' s bidding , ample and superample funds will be willingly and profusely supplied ; and they will not be deterred , by a lack of funds , from opposing a barrier to any new inundationi of intolerance , or from promoting the cause of religious freedom in the British empire , or throughout the earth . "
The principal speakers at the meeting were the Rev . Drs . Bennett , Dickson ( of Edinburgh ) , Styles , and Philip ( from the Cape of Good Hope ); and Rev . Mr . Wilks , of Paris . The business was suspended for a time by the enthusiasm excited by the entrance of Mr . O'Connell ; he addressed the assembly in a strain of fervid congratulation , and of gratitude for the aid rendered by Protestants and Dissenters to the Catholics in their great struggle ; .
By the request of the Committee we State , that donations are needed , and may be transmitted , by post , to the Treasurer , or to either of the Secretaries , Thomas Pellatt , Esq ., Ironmongers' Hall - , and John Wilks , Esq ., Finsbury Square ; to the latter of whom , applications should be addressed . From each congregation in England , the annual contribution
expected is two pounds ; and from each in Wales * one pound . The subscriptions became due at Lady-day last . Country ministers or their friends will always be received with pleasure by the Committee , at their meetings at Bataon ' s Coffee-house , Cornhill , at half-past six in the evening , an the last Monday in every mouth .

" Presented , with a corresponding Piece of Plate , by the Members of the Eustace Street Congregation of Protestant Dissenters to their beloved Pastor , the Rev . Philip Taylor , on his retirement from the active duties of his pastoral office , after the prolonged and faithful
Ministry of Fifty-one Years—in testimony of their personal affection for him , of their gratitude to him for his ever anxious , kind , and benevolent anxiety for their spiritual welfare and temporal happiness . " Dublin , 1828 . "

" On the part of the Eustace-Street Congregation of Protestant Dissenters , we feel a peculiar p leasure in presenting to you these two pieces of Plate .

" To which we have only to add our sincere and anxious wish , that you may long continue to enjoy such portion of health as will enable you to contribute to the spiritual welfare of your congre-
